Paper House "You are Loved" Treat Box

Hello Friends!

Welcome to the Paper House/Glue Dots Collaboration Blog Hop!  I have a project I made with a friend in mind as a Just Because treat box because she's amazing, and so are those Paper House Papers!  

Size: 2 ½” x 2 ½” x 3 ¼” Box and a 3” x 4” card/envelope

Level: Moderate

Time: 40 minutes

This box can come together in no time with the punch board.  The hard part is picking which beautiful paper to use! Paper House and Glue Dots is a magic match!

Supplies:

Adhesive:

Glue Dots® Super Strength Tape Runner

Glue Dots® Pop Up Dots

Glue Dots® Mini Dots

Materials:

Paper House Color Washed Paper Pad

Paper House StickyPix Cardstock Stickers

Gold Paper Clip

Tools:

We R Memory Keepers 1-2-3 Punch Board

Bone Folder

Paper Trimmer

Scissors

Craft Mat

Directions:

Step 1:

Once you’ve decided the paper for your box, use the paper trimmer to cut a 9” square. Use the 1-2-3 punchboard to make the box, following the steps for the 2 ½” x 2 ½” x 3 ¼” box.  Fold the score lines, and glue the box together with the Glue Dots® Tape Runner. 

Step 2:

With one of the many papers in the Color Washed pad, choose a rectangle and trim it out with scissors. Use the bone folder to crease it in it half. It should be about 3” x 4”.  Find a sentiment you like and cut that too.  With the StickyPix stickers, pick a few stickers you like with the rectangle you chose.  Trim one of the border stickers to fit the length of the card base.  Stick it down and add the rest of the elements, using Pop-Up Dots for the sentiment.

Step 3:

Chose a paper that goes with the box and cut it down to a 6 ¼” square to make an envelope.  Follow the instructions on the 1-2-3 board to make an envelope.  Really score this and use the Glue Dots® Super Strength Tape Runner to glue the envelope together.  Once you sign the card, add a Mini Glue Dot® to the flap and seal it closed.

Step 4:

Fill the box with a treat of your choice, and close it.  With the gold paper clip, attach the envelope to the box and you’re all set!

This works for just about any occasion and looks beautiful with those gorgeous papers from Paper House!

For my project, I used the super cute Autumn Blooms Stamp Set to make these tags.  There are coordinating dies for this set, but I ended up not using them. The flowers and leaves are so easy to use and I can see many more tag ideas with them. 

Here's what you need to make this set: 

Adhesive:

Glue Dots® Permanent Tape Runner

Materials: 

Pretty Pink Posh Autumn Blooms Acrylic Stamp Set
VersaMark Watermark Stamp Ink 
Recollections Detail Embossing Powder in Gold 
Coffee Filters
Small Clear Adhesive Bag
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in 5 Coordinating Colors:

        No. 260 Deep Red
        No. 060 Brown
        No. 067 Mustard
        No. 022 Carmine Red
        No. 043 Olive Green

Water Brush 
6 Die cut tags with a shadow at 3.00" Tall.  I used my Cricut Explore to cut my tags
Twine in brown
Baby wipes/or stamp cleaner
Scratch Paper
Self Adhesive Gems
Craft Mat

Tools: 

Mini MISTI
Scissors
Tweezers
Heat Tool  for embossing
1/8" Hole Punch

Directions:

Step 1: 

With the Mini MISTI, put one tag in to begin stamping.  I was able to fit 3 stamps on one tag.  Stamp with the VersaMark.  Add some Gold Embossing Powder to the image and heat set it. Use the tweezers to hold it in place so you don't burn your fingers!  

Step 2: 

With a Zig Brush, run some color around the flower and use the water brush to spread the color.  Follow the same steps for the leaves.  

  

Step 3: 

With the same color you colored your flower, run a line around the outer edges of the tag and use the water brush to bring the color inward.  Use the tweezers to hold this piece while you run the heat tool over it again to speed up the drying. 

Step 4: 

Use Glue Dots® Tape Runner to glue the colored tag to the shadow.  

Step 5: 

With the 1/8" hole punch, punch through the colored piece and the shadow.  Run some twine through the hole and tie it off to make the tag.  Use the scissors to trim the twine evenly. 

Step 6: 

Once your tags are all assembled, place them in the clear bag and you're ready to give them to a friend, or save them and use them yourself! 

Special thanks to Pretty Pink Posh and Glue Dots for this awesome collaboration!  These stamps were so much fun to use and even more fun to color!

Pink & Main and Glue Dots Blog Hop

Hi Friends!

Welcome to the Pink & Main and Glue Dots Blog Hop!

This cute set of cards is the perfect touch to go along with a birthday gift, or just because!  With Glue Dots® and Pink & Main, there is no end to the cards you can make!

Here are the details:

Made By: Amanda Tibbitts

Time: about 1.5 Hours

Level: Intermediate

Size: Six A2 Cards

  
Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

Adhesive:

Glue Dots® Glue Lines

Glue Dots® Micro Dots

Glue Dots® Permanent Tape Runner

Materials:

Pink & Main Stitched Greetings Stamp Set and coordinating dies

Baby wipes or stamp cleaner

Mini MISTI or an acrylic block 

6 110lb cardstock card bases cut at 4 ¼” x 8 ½”

6 patterned cardstocks cut at 4” x 5 ½”

Scraps of ivory cardstock to do the stamping

6 envelopes

6 Die Cut Flowers at 3”

Ribbon

Twine

Washi Tape

Faux self-adhesive pearls

Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo and ink blending tool

Clear Box

Tools:

Cuttlebug or other manual die cutting machine

Scissors

Bone Folder

Directions:

Step 1:

Add some distress ink to each of the petals on your die cut flower, as well as the center, and anywhere else you want.  Use the Glue Dots® to adhere the flower pieces together.  Set these aside.

Step 2:

Fold the 4 ¼” x 8 ½” card bases in half and use the bone folder to really crease them.  When using heavier paper you have to really crease them to make them crisp!

Step 3:

On the 4” x 5 ½” patterned cardstock, measure a length of ribbon that will reach about ½” up the panel.  Use a completed flower to make sure it reaches.  Cut this piece so a bit runs over the bottom edge.  Use a Glue Dots® Glue Line on the backside in the middle of the patterned cardstock.  Stick the ribbon that is a little longer than the panel to the glue line.  Wrap it around the front of the panel, adding two more glue lines to the ribbon.  Stick it down to the patterned panel. Then run some Glue Dots® Tape Runner around the back of the patterned panel and adhere it to a folded card base.  With a bit more ribbon, tie a not and trim the ends on an angle to somewhat mimic a leaf shape. Use Glue Dots® Micro Dots to glue this to the ribbon stem.  Place a finished flower over the top to make sure the leaves get in the right spot!  Once you’ve placed the leaves, glue the flower to the cardstock with a combo of Glue Dots® Tape Runner and glue lines. 

Step 4:

With the MISTI, and the Pink & Main stamps, stamp the sentiments from the super cute Stitched Greeting set with the Distress Oxide Ink. 

Step 5:

With the coordinating dies and a piece of washi tape, line up the die you want to use for each sentiment and run it through the Cuttlebug.

Step 6:

Add some distress ink to the edge of each sentiment and use the Glue Dots® Glue Lines to glue to the bottom of the ribbon stem.

Step 7:

With the faux pearls, add two in the left top corner.

Step 8:

Add an envelope to each card and fill the clear box with the cards and tie the twine around the box. 

This set is fairly quick to put together and looks so cute!  Who doesn’t love blank cards to use?!

Tools:

Mini MISTI other stamp positioner

Cricut Cuttlebug or other manual die cut machine

Heat tool (Embossing gun)

Scissors

Paper Trimmer 

Directions:

Step 1:

Trim the Recollections card stock down to 4.25” x 5.5” and the Bristol down to 4” x 5.25” This is your card base, and the top layer.

Step 2:

With the VersaFine, Mini MISTI, and the adorable dog and girl stamp from Soul Mutts, stamp one in a corner of a left over piece of Bristol from trimming your card mat from.  Heat set this with the embossing gun.  Or you can let it dry for a few minutes.

Step 3:

With the Yellow Zig Marker, go around the edges of the dog and the bow on the girl’s dress.  Use the water brush to water color the image.  Follow the same steps for the rest of the image.  Heat set the image after each color you add and make sure it’s all the way dry before you add anymore color.  Once dry, use the scissors and trim out the image and set aside.

Step 4:

With the Whimsy Stamps Card Builders Window Die and the Cuttlebug or other machine, make a window in the Bristol white and the Recollections card base.  Use some washi tape to hold the die in place while running through the Cuttlebug.

 

Step 5:

Using the Picked Raspberry Distress Ink, stamp some corner designs in two of the corners of the white layer of your card.  Pick which ones you like that you feel go with your image.  Also stamp the sentiment with the distress ink.  Using the MISTI helps get everything in line and makes stamping really easy.

Step 6:

Use the Card Builder Window die that you like and will fit your sentiment, use the Cuttlebug and cut it out.  Also fussy cut a shadow around the sentiment with the Recollections paper. Tie a small twine bow for the top of your sentiment and attach with a Glue Dots® Micro Dot.

Step 7:

With the Glue Dots® Permanent Tape runner, begin attaching all of your elements to the card front, being sure to line up the Bristol to you the window on the Recollections card base.

This card is so sweet and lends itself to really any occasion whether it’s a new puppy, or when someone needs a pick-me-up.
